Caroline Flack wants to star in a musical.
The 35-year-old presenter has enjoyed competing in 'Strictly Come Dancing' and hopes her new-found dance skills could help her fulfil a long-held dream of starring in a stage production.
She said: "I've found I really enjoy this kind of thing so maybe I could do something like a musical.
"That was what I wanted to do when I was younger and now I'm thinking, 'Maybe I could tread the boards.' "
Caroline - who recently split from long-term boyfriend Jack Street - is partnered with Pasha Kovalev on the show and says he has made her a better person.
She said: "He's amazing. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met. He's changed me as a person. I can be a bit of a worrier and he's rationalised every single thing I say. He's made me evaluate the way I think about things."
The blonde beauty was recently cheered on from the audience by her former 'Xtra Factor' co-host Olly Murs and says his presence gave her more confidence.
She told OK! magazine: "Sometimes having Olly around just gives you confidence. As soon as he's around, everything feels a bit better, a bit happier. He came in and gave me some tips on performing."

Ben Haenow wants to make his mother's life easier by winning 'The X Factor'.
The 29-year-old singer - who will compete against Fleur East and Andrea Faustini in the final of the ITV competition this weekend - confessed he would love to take the top spot so he can look after his mum and family in the future.
He told MailOnline: "It would make my life!
"It would help get us, my family, in a better place. We live in a council estate and me, my mum and brother live together. So I'd like to sort my family out with somewhere else to live.
"I just want to make my mum's life a bit easier. I'd like it if she didn't have to worry as she gets older and for her not to have to work quite so hard."
London-born Ben added he was close to giving up on his music career before trying out for the show as the criticism started to get to him.
He said: "For me, it's about trying to succeed in an industry that for I've been trying to making it in for years, to the point of nearly giving up.
"We used to play gigs around the South East. When you're spending money on petrol and not being paid anything to cover costs, it becomes hard slog.
"I started thinking, 'I'm playing to five or ten people and I've travelled all this way. What for?' People are just there to drink - not really to listen to your band anyway."

Stevi Ritchie thinks Ben Haenow will win 'The X Factor'.
The 34-year-old wannabe popstar has revealed he'd like to see his fellow over 25 contestant win the competition after being voted out last month.
He said: "To be honest I have to go with my overs. Ben or Fleur, I think possibly Ben might win it, but a lot of people are saying Fleur ... I mean all three of them are going to get record contracts without a doubt, but I think Ben has probably got the edge. I don't know why but I think he'll clinch it."
The cheeky chappy also confessed he wishes he'd made it to the final this weekend so he could've performed a duet with his musical idol.
Quizzed on what song he would've sung in the final, he said in a Q&A with Mecca Bingo: "Straight forward, Olly Murs as my celebrity duet and singing 'Dance With Me Tonight', definitely. I think that would be a great one because it is the first audition that I did, and of course I forgot the lyrics, so it would be quite ironic to actually remember the lyrics and do it with Olly. [sic]"
Meanwhile, Stevi is hoping his former mentor Simon Cowell will offer him a presenting gig in the new year.
He added: "Well I would still like to say that I will keep in touch with Simon and he will offer me a job next year, doing something on camera, I don't know what, anything really."

Steven Moffat is glad people have accepted Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who.
The BBC One sci-fi series' showrunner has confessed he's looking forward to developing the character now audiences have gotten used to the 56-year-old actor playing the role previously portrayed by stars including Tom Baker and Matt Smith.
Speaking about making the last series, in which Capaldi made his debut as the titular Time Lord, he said: "I was looking for the Capaldi moments every episode, saying, 'We need a Capaldi moment, that moment where he's not Matt Smith, he's not David Tennant, where he's a dangerous, unpredictable, volatile character."
The 53-year-old writer and producer claims he had to work so hard to distinguish Capaldi as a character because otherwise viewers would have become complacent.
He continued: "The longer you do a show the cosier it gets, the cosier it gets the nearer to death it gets. You really have to say to people, 'Pay attention. He's far more unpredictable that that'.
"So now, having done that, and having blasted our new Doctor at them, we can go other places with him. We don't have to work at that anymore because people just accept him."
And Steven is now excited about being able to focus entirely on the storyline in the next series.
He added to SFX magazine: "I won't be looking for the Capaldi moment next year because the whole show is a Capaldi moment."

Fleur East struggled with depression earlier this year.
The 27-year-old singer has confessed to going through a dark period in her life, prior to finding fame on the latest series of 'The X Factor', when she feared she would never sing again.
The brunette beauty - who will compete in this weekend's final alongside Ben Haenow and Andrea Faustini - became depressed as she struggled to land gigs and resigned to sitting at home in her pyjamas.
She said: "The beginning of this year was my lowest point. I was waking up at whatever time and watching repeats of 'Friends' in my pyjamas all day, every day.
"There was nothing in my diary - no gigs, nothing going on. I was like, 'What am I going to do with my life?' I was so scared. I knew if I got a normal job, I would never sing again.
"There was no motivation in me - there wasn't even any drive to get up in the morning because what's the point? I was definitely depressed. Looking back, I'm like, 'Who was that?'"
However, Fleur soon got back on her feet after her friends and family encouraged her to audition for the ITV singing competition.
She said: "I got up, got in the gym and I had something to work towards."

Danniella Westbrook could be set to star in 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The former 'EastEnders' star has been linked to a stint on the upcoming 15th series of the Channel 5 reality show - which kicks off in January - after admitting she's living in sheltered accommodation and relying on food banks to feed her family.
A source revealed: "Danniella sees 'Celebrity Big Brother' as her only option now."
The 41-year-old actress - who has 18-year-old son Kai from her relationship with Robert Fernandez and 13-year-old daughter Jody with ex-husband Kevin Jenkins - is in need of the fee she would receive for appearing on the programme after being dropped from a pantomime in Torquay due to a cocaine relapse earlier this year.
The insider told the Daily Star newspaper: "She hates to leave her kids, but she needs cash, and fast."
Danniella - who previously appeared on ITV reality show 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' in 2003 - confessed in a recent interview she has had the "worst year" of her life.
She said: "It's a car crash and I have to say, I thought that nearly losing my life was the worst point of my life, but I think that this year has been the worst year that I've ever had in my life, to lose one thing after another after another."

Craig Revel Horwood says 'The X Factor' has "had its day".
The 49-year-old dancer is a judge on rival show 'Strictly Come Dancing' and insists that while the BBC One celebrity dance contest is as popular as ever, the ITV talent show has passed its peak.
Claiming Strictly had yet again had a "fabulous year", he said: "As for our rivals...to be honest, The X Factor's had its day."
Craig claims the show's judges - Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Mel B - are too busy bickering with one another to find real talent.
He continued: "It's too much about the judges now."
The outspoken critic went on to slam the show for allowing Italian contestant Andrea Faustini to make it to this weekend's final.
Writing in his column for Woman magazine, he added: "There aren't any contestants you want to champion and there's no one left in Britain with the X Factor - that's why they've had to go to Italy."
However, while Craig isn't a fan of his main competitor, he admits he does have a soft spot for another reality series.
He added: "'Gogglebox is my favourite TV show. The gay guys are so funny but I love Steph and Dom - they're always drunk! It's hilarious to see them slagging me off on the show!"

Madonna has turned down the chance to perform on 'The X Factor' final.
The 56-year-old singer has reportedly refused to appear on the ITV singing competition despite the pleas of head judge Simon Cowell.
A source revealed: "There are very few people in the music world who Simon can't appeal to. He has made no secret of the fact that he is desperate to get Madonna on board but she just won't do it.
"The 'X Factor' final is one of the biggest shows on the planet and a great platform for anyone who wants to sell records. It is a big blow to the final."
For the last episode of the reality show, it is thought the remaining contestants - Fleur East, Ben Haenow and Andrea Faustini - will be joined by the boyband One Direction, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith, although there are rumours that Simon is hoping to secure an extra act to amp up the star factor.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "They have already got some absolutely brilliant names in One Direction, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran. They are three of the biggest stars of the moment but none of them has that real wow factor and One Direction are already so closely associated with The X Factor.
"A huge American star such as Beyonce, Christina Aguilera or Rihanna makes people's jaws drop to the floor."
